I finally marked the main gear for the
locations that will need ground out for the
mounting bolts. I don't have a grinder bit
yet so that will have to wait.

The fork I built on September 15, 2016
(visit log page) but today I drilled the
large holes on the bottom for the axle.

I used a step drill and the holes came out
perfectly. I wanted to put the wheel on just
to check the fit but the bearings won't go
over the threads on the axle. I'm guessing I
might need to get a sanding block and go
over the threads to knock down high spots.

Here is the main wheel ready to go. At some
point, I'd like to paint the aluminum wheel
white.

I did this part yesterday, but I poured into
the main steel cage some of this ACF-50
anti-corrosion spray.

I poured the spray in the tubes and then
rotated the whole cage until the tube was
coated. Then I let it sit in each direction
for a while until the extra ran out the
bottom and soaked into the rags.

The cage is now ready to install but I
want to wait until I have a second pair of
hands so that I can install it without
scratching the painted inside of the fuse.
